Corrections, Withdrawals, and Retractions

The Proceedings aims to maintain an accurate and transparent scholarly record. Before publication, authors may request withdrawal of an abstract by contacting the Editorial Office. Withdrawal requests are subject to editorial review and may require confirmation from the corresponding author or other affected authors.

After publication, significant errors or ethical concerns will be assessed individually. Depending on the circumstances, the Proceedings may issue a correction, editorial notice, expression of concern, or retraction.

Retraction may be considered in cases involving serious research misconduct, substantial plagiarism, duplicate publication, major errors that invalidate the findings, or significant ethical violations.

Where an abstract is retracted, its DOI and original record should generally remain accessible with a clear retraction notice. Removal of a published record without an explanatory notice will normally be avoided except where legally or otherwise exceptionally necessary.
